THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS• JULY 1, 1826. [THE TIMES.] The Northumberland election produces so many strange:inconsistencies, that it would take kvolume to explain them ; and if explained, they would. but little interest the public—at least, they would bear, .in the mind of the general reader, but a remote relation to the national concerns, The cause .of tins 'confusion is, that some of the candidates, as well as electors of leading name,. are suffering private piques and resent ments to influence and direct their public conduct.— This is what they have no right to do. - . The feudal Barons of old involved all their retainers and villains in their ownquarrels, bringing them forward to reyenge the personal affronts, real or imaginary,of their Lords ; but in the present enlightened - state of , society it is meat ;unjust to dtag freeholders to the poll on a similar principle, to make them the prosecutors of their land lords'. enmities, Sir Caniaby. naggerstone, a Roman Catholic,- and of an ancient family of that faith, gives a plumper to Mr. Liddell, in an election in which a son of that consistent Nobleman is a candidate, who had sacrificed office itself' to the sole object of emanci pating the Catholics. If the Roman Catholics gene rally are thus to reward their friends—if this is to be the method in which they are to promote their own interests, who is there that would not shrink from personal contact with them, and give up their cause as hopeless, through the desertion or luke- Warmness of those whom it is meant to serve ?-- Sir Charles Mona, also a Whig, and the ancient Whig representative of the.county, gives a.plumper at this election to Mr. Bell, a Tory of high tone. If Sir Charles Monck and other Gentlemen of similar rank.were insulated beings, they might act according to their own ,fantasy, without much injury to those public principles which they have, professed through life ; but what are they who are swayed by their ex ample, -or influenced by their authority, to think, when_they see their leaders thus 44 shoot madly from their spheres?" They must begin to apprehend that political principle is thing of naught. No man who as in a situation which entitles him to be looked up to, is at liberty to act from private motives on a public question. [THE MORNING CHRONICLE.] • The illiberality of the maxims laid down by the Judges with regard to the Press, the disposition mani fested by them to deprive it of very much of its utilit by Making faithful reports of police and law cases ille gal—the countenance shown by than Omit pudor ! ) to those knavish attorneys who seek the notoriety of the Newspapers as well as profit by bringing actions merely for the sake .of costs, and who, as they behing to the sharp practising department of the profession, would rather be known for evil than good' —naturally rallies the wise and good round the public. Press, and disposes them to err in an opposite direction from that which the Judges take. Much indulgence is cer tainly due to Newspapers, and when it is considered that the' very condition of their existence, is that the uneven mass of matter of which they are composed AA be put together with little time for preparation, and none for revision, the bitterness with winch some ofthr Judges have inveighed against trifling.proceed. ings, as, for instance, the sin of allowing two rival q uacks, to attack each other in the advertising columns, appears the more preposterous. If Newspapers are on the whole productive of great good, and the con ditioii of theitsexistence.is that they shall occasionally fall ,into mistakes, ten visit all their mistakes with rigoUr is not justice, but tyranny. But while great indulgence is due to Newspapers, they ought not to, presume E 0 far on the feeling ni favour of the free dom of the Press, as to carry alarm into the bosoms of families for the , personal safety of individuals belonging to them. When the line of propriety is, passed m tint;respect, it becomes other Journaliststo slidsV, That hoWever ready they might be to sympathise with the, accidental mistakes, or even the occasional imprudences of each other, they disclaim that latitude'. which would make the press. a curse, rather than a blessing,---These observations are called 'for ,in justice to ourselves, in consequence of the followingparagraph in Time Courier of yesterday We shall not be tempted by the very foolish and illiberal re wades in The Morning arcade of this day, to return to the subject of Colonel Lowther and Mr. Brougham. What we said yesterday wag to repel the charge of fabrication, and having done that, it becomes us W leave the general question where it is." Now we appeal to our readers, i f i t was possible to • act more fairly towards the, Courier than we acted. — We gave the version which ,appeared in that paper last • Saturday, and was copied into the New Times cif the following Monday, and we subjoined the versions which appeared in three Morning,Papers, having their Separate Reporters at Appleby` and after noticing the proceedings to which the fabrication in the Courier had led, and the statement 'Mede by Mr. Brougham, in presence" of Colonel Lowther and Mr. Strick land, and acquiesced in by them, we left it for The Cowie? to explain in what way the fabrication had found its way into its columns. We drew no inferences against our contemporary.. But , when we saw next clay, an impudent attempt to prove the correctness of the report ; an attempt, by the bye, more insulting to Colonel Lowther than Mr. Broegliam, because' it un- • pates to him the meanness of having eaten up his words, or at least, 'the not daring to contradict Mr: Brougham,. when he stated that he had declared to Mr; :Strielthuid that the offensive language pit in his mouth by the Courier was not true—we then deemed it high time to mark, in strong terms, our reprobation of the conduct of our contemporary, which we were called on, in. justice to ourselves, to do. We knew that the public would not endure to be imposed upon by personal malignity, distorting 'facts, and fabricating injurioua speeches, and persisting, with dogged per verseness in the enumeration of refuted charges. And the respectable part of the press is bound lo disclaim all participation and approval lit such a course of pro-. seeding. Colonel. Lowther is cliargedwitli employing towards Mr. Brougham language such, as no brave plan 'could either utter or permit. No sooner does the paper reach Appleby, than the latter Gentleman, astonished at the vulgarity, as well es tho inaccuracy of the imputed language, requests his friend . Mr. Strickland to inquire Of the Colonel whether he ern: 7 t o ied it, and the answer is a decided:negative.. This t at ' enie nt publicly made by .Mr. B. on the hustings, in the bearing of all who heard .o the splih► ques *on an d iii the presence of olonel L ec . and of M r , Strieklund, neither of those Get m i ttleen, nor any on i,i n ai44l4l,l xis ao vast an assemblage wi!tie . vies, either denies Mr. B. 's statement, .nor corrects it inthe lead pasticlitoz.the Colonel merely protesting ,that lie is not responaitle' for statements or } observations made without huilit6-40ie,....can there ie a more satisfac , - .. tory disclaimer ,of . the report o r a purtian net4it oter if we hia no 'told the erttcle in the Cou rici 91"tirs- day night before our readers, they would not easily have believed the manner in which this refutation is sought to beparried. It required such an ocular proof to convince them that the Editor, in his Lead mg Article, neither apologized nor retracted, but makes a clumsy effort to maintain his first story. His arguments are worthy of his position. After copying out the above narrative, he ingeniously inquires— " Where now i Col. Lowther's denial ?—where, Mr. Strickland ?" As if the silent assent of Honourable men to an assertion madeln their hearing,: forced on their attention, and deeply affecting their honour, were to go for nothing, without their formal adoption of its terms. The Colonel, an avowed enemy to Je suitical practices, ig as much indebted to his advocate for • supplying him with so mean and quibbling an evasion, as for imputing, in the first place, the low bragging of a bully to a brave officer. "Ah 1 but (says the Leading Article) we'have materials and do cuments, which, perhaps, we may be provoked to publish, to corroborate our report." As ,if delicacy had restrained such a reporter tiom the publication of anything 1 The only answer to mysterious menacing is--"" Do your worst—produce your proofs, and we shall see bow they ought to be dealt with." [THE BRITISH PRESS.] The Westmorland contest increases in interest as it proceeds. By our report this day, it will be seen that the Assessor has decided against the admission of (according to the Patois of Appleby) the mushroom voters,, upon the ground that they, are annuitants, and therefore ought to have been registered for 6 months previously. This has given Mr. Brougham's party great spirits, and they now speak confidently of that Gentleman's success. However that may be, this circumstance will undoubtedly tend to prolong the contest. This election has not proceeded without those ebullitions of popular feeling that are so common at this period ; but Lord Lowther, although subject ed frequently to the indignation of the people, firmly resisted the introduction of the military; winch, under the circumstances, we consider creditable to his Lordship's judgment and temper. LTHE MORNING HERALD.) As if insanity, or the mere imputation .of it, were not a su ffi cient calamity of itself — both to individuals and families, the worthy professors of the law seize upon persons so afflicted as their:peculiar prey ; and those towards whom the law itself intends to hold forth, both in their property and . persons, a more than ordinary degree of protection, are often pillaged in the one, and outraged in the other, to an extent which no thing but the striking instances which are continually occurring could 'induce any one to credit. But not only in this respect is the profession of the law thus scandalised by greedy and unprincipled practitioners, but that of medicine is brought in aid ; by their joint rapacity leaving their wretched victims often totally destitute, and without the means of future enjoyment, should returning reason restore them ,to society. — Without adverting to particular examples in proof of our remarks, we may be permitted to say, that the whole subject is one which strongly calls for revision. The manner in which Inquisitions of Lunacy are fre quently found, is any thing but satisfactory'; and it, would be well if Juries in these cases, as well as some others, were' oftener to assert their independence,. and judge for themselves, before they consigned a fellow creature to perpetual personal restraint, and to the end less fleecing of lawyers and physicians. Nothing can more clearly show the absence of real science, and of any thing like fixed principle upon the subject among the latter, than the way in which' they ,differ in cases where there are means enough in .hand to elicit and keep alive that difference. While .one set of mad doctors will pronounce a man :Wholly destitute of, reason, as many more will be found to declare him perfectly sane, and though the former. gene-. rally get the day, it frequently is not , till ample estates ,have been - dilapidated, and iji,e most cruel injuries have been inflicted on individual feelings. , It, is no small aggravation of,the Matter, that thoF3 vvhose, interest it is to have persons declared insane, have the same motives for keeping them so. Would it nut be some improvement it every, person, thus situated; haul his case reviewed once a year by a Jury, or sonic other disinterested inquirers "e The Lord Chancellor, who has at all times evinced the most anxions solici tude in such cases, is too much occupied to go so nutely into them all. Indeed, the great majority of them seldom or ever come before him.' The state of Pauper Lunatics is, .we fear, in many instances still more deplorable, and is, we suspect, Often lost sight of altogether, ti ll some striking instance of abuse rouses for a moment the public sympathy told hum- Among the refOrins which are. ,afloat, none tiuld retied more credit . upon the age than one iclk should be ,the result Of a full and practical (limy Into this subject, which should impose some wholesome restraints upon the facility with which lu n.acy is now pronounced the manner in which the property of persons so situated is fleeced by profes sional men, and thpm obstacles which exist to returning sanity,. through the modes •in which every thing like a curative system is disregarded in too many of those 'places of confinement, of which it ought, to form leadiug feature. Fanaticism is so blind a principle, that it general adopts means destructive of its own objects. Tlie Itourush missionaries in France are now taking a course to silence public opinion, which is cure to infuse into, it new vigour. Their plan is to collect and burn`the hooka which contain sentiments adverse to the system that they labour to impose upon mankind. This is the most stupid plan that ever was attempted by those who hope to establish a tyranny over the human mind. The Vandalism which commits to the flames the lite rature that it cannot refute serves the cause that' it endeavours to destroy. It affords additional means of propagating the doctrines that it wishes to extermi nate. We gave the other day an account from a Frelich paper, which stated that on the day of the departure of the Missionaries from Toulouse, a quantity of the works of the French philosophers, amounting to about WO, were given up to the flames in the presence of peat many persons in the house in which the Abbe Ciuyon lodged. Now whatever rank those pious cru saders may deserve as theologians, they are certainly very bad political economists. They are not KV quiunted with the elementaryproposition, that demand creates supply. Nor 'au they seem to know that demand is produced by consumption. Let us apply the Principle. Mow five'hundred works 'which con tained, we do not know how many *hundred volumes, could not .be l ie exp elle es of the bookselle ta who sold iroeured without money. That mo ney included th them, and the profits of their trade. The booksellers having received that money, lay it out in the ~reprod uction of the same c ommo diti es . They have them clination and the ability to ,supply the place of the literary merchandise that fully d wall gotked.trifeire this - intellectval a fanatic zeal has destroyed. If the timi auto.dale, the consumption of those many hundred volumes openi a demand for as many more ; and happy would the booksellers be ifthe next five hundred copies of those works were treated in the same- man ner, anti so on - with successive publications—glad, in .deed, would our own booksellers be, if there were a body- like the Romisb Missionaries in this country to make an -annual sacrifice of their superfluous stock in trade ; just as our manufacturers of Leeds or :Man chester, who feel the effects of their: own system of over-production, would be delighted if agents from Rome or any %there else were to buy up their broad cloth or calicoes, and condemn them, as the work of heretic hands, to be burnt to ashes. The Dutch. traders knew this principle .better . than the Mission aries,- when they used to consume a proportion of their spices to 'enhance the value of the remainder. FEMALE FASHIONS FOR JULY, 1826. (From La Belle AssembMe.) CAARIAGR DRESS.—A pelisse of gros de Naples, the colour of the ,Persith lilac ; the pelisse iv close fastened down in front, where 1, ;pointed ornament is carried down each side ;,tbe pbints bound round witl =TO rouleaux, and ,separafed over the fastening a e skirt by one large full-wadded rouleau. Round .he border of the skirt, about three inches above the shoe, is en ornament set on straight across, of an en- twined rouleau, forming a tire-bouchon. The body is made quite plain, and the collar remarkably narrow. Neither the 'ruff nor colerette is worn with. this pe lisse, but a row of large pearls encircles the throat. The bonnet is white, and of the new cotton manufac ture, in imitation of chip, with a narrow Vandyke blond at the edge of the brim : it is handsomely trim med about the crown with scrolls of Japanese gauze, edged with white satin rouleaux, and very, slightly or namented with. Provence roses, one of which is placed under the left side oldie brim ; the strings are in a loop, and are of rich white ribbon, broad, and, edged round with narrow blond. A parasol, of seatreen, with a broad white fringe, completes the costume. AFTERNOON HOME DRESS.--A TOUIId dress of fine jaconot Maul, with five narrow flounces, set on very full, and pointed. The sleeves full, and in the chemisette style ; the width confined all the way up the arm, at separate distances, by bands of embroider ed muslin. An elegant peterine of the same material as the, dress, and richly . Ornamented with lace, is worn over the shoulders ; it is left partially open in front, whence a 'falling kind of collar turns back on each side, forming an ornament something similar to a lapelle ; this is also trimmed with lace: the corsage of the dress, however, is entirely concealed in front by this appendage ; and though it seems to form a part of the dress, it is not of the cauezoa kind, but of a style per fectly novel. The hair is beautifully arranged in clus terea curls, smaller than those which have, of late, so disguised the female countenance': a small cap is worn over it, of rich blond, with a large full-blown rose. on one side, and very long lappets depending over each shoulder. The cap is placed more forward than has been the mode for this sort of head-covering for Some time. The jewellery ornaments are ear-rings, necklace, and bracelets, of pearls and rubies, set a Pantique. • • AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JUNE. The contained showers at the beginning - of the month, penetrated to the root ; and mild weather suc ceeding, all vegetation slammed that rapid and luxn. ristut start winch had been expected, They revived the inert and dormant seeds, changed the pale and sickly hue of plants into their natural and beautiful ereen, and washed WY the verminious impurities from flower, hud,and bine; a somewhat long and dry inter val since, leaves the soil in need of the renewed assist ance of rain. Wheat 1s not only a very extensive crop in all the corn districts, but of as high promise as most farmers can recollect . . It appears great on all lands, adapted to its production, and even on inferior soils promises an average, There were fine ears of wheat in the Hundreds of Essex, on the first day of the month. We have known them earlier, The prospect for blooming is good ; and, our good fortune not forsaking us, harvest may continence on or before th*.2oth July. Oats and beans promise well, but the pease, like the hops, wear injured in some degree, by the lice. Turnip sowing, especially,Swedes commenced perhaps kit early, but the land was ready, , and 'the. farmer wished to take time by the forelock. Meadow grass unfed, though it suffered by the drought, has improved greatly and will be productive; but the pastures, which, from the failure of turnips, were eaten early and bare, will not,render much product' until autumn. The stock of old hay is much exhausted. The clovers in this country, one if the best for that plant, have greatly improved. It will be a great fruit year, with some ex ceptions. The hops, well washed and mundified by the rains, have ti&en,a new lease, and are likely to prove better than bargain. The sheep-shearingwas risked early, in our changeful climate, and the clip will make a large addition to a hithertoimmoveable stock, though they write from the mirth of a prospect of demand.

MANSION-HOUSE..Yesterdayllr. Alderman Wopn earn. to the Mansion House, for the purpose of contradicting a state ment which appeared in The Courier Newspaper, . , that he had persecuted a poor man, named Brown, and procured his discharge, for sticking up bills against him (Alderman Wood). He thought it worth► while not to let such a statement go unanswered ; for he never exercised such an influence in the course of his life; and be never heard of such a man, until the change was made in the Newspaper. He wished to know whether there really was such a man connected with.the Mansion House Establishment. The LORD Maxon said, he believed there was such a man, not belonging to the Mansion House, .but to the Mansion House Porter. The fact ,wae, that their Porter, like the Porter to the Castle of Indolence, had become so exceedingly fat, that he bad employed a Varlet to do the only work which there was for him to do, namely to sweep the gateway. This Varlet was the afore said. Brown, whom the liberty of the subject, and the Consti tution, was alleged to have been violated. . How, or why, he had quitted the Mansion House, the Porter alone could tell. The Porter was then sent for, and he waddled into the Justice Room.. In answer to his Lordship's enquiries, he stated, that he had employed. Brown at half-a-crown per week, to sweep the door, and do other work , for him. • The Lord 14layor—When did he absent himself from his duty? —The porter replied, it , was about three weeks ago. The Lord Mayor—Did you discharge him from his office on constitutional grounds, or for acting against Mr. Alderman Wood? —The porter. Bless your Worship, no : 1 can't tell why he went off. Alderman Wood professed himself satisfied with this contradic tion he thought the affair unworthy of farther attention. He had been challenged to prove his statement respecting the bills, and he had proved it, • GUILDHALL.—A Solicitor was charged with indecently assaulting Mrs. Thompson, the wife of a person living in CO ham-place, Finsbury, while she was passing down Holborn Bridge, on Thursday night. Her husband had let go her arm for a moment to let some ladies pass, when the defendant swung his hand round so as to touch her indecently. Mr. T. witnessed the insult, ran after the defendant and gave him into custody.....- The defendant denied that he had either touched or spoken to the lady, and so unconscious was he of having given offence, that when the husband first attacked him he positively .believed it was a scheme to collect a crowd for the .purpose of picking pockets. Fortunately for him, however, two Gentlemen, who were in at tendance, hiul witnessed his conduct. One of them stated, that he saw the defendant walking along, and he observed nothing particular until ,Mr. Thomson seized him by the collar. Mr. Alderman BIRCH said, this sort of insult might be committed on modest females, in crowded, thoroughfares, unnoticed by the throng, and he gave little weight to the evidence of persons who came to say they were passing and did not see it. It was an insult he was disposed to punish with the utmost severity. In the end, the Solicitor made his peace by apologising to the Lady. THE MARKETS. 'From the.

MINOR, COBBETT AND PRESTON. When Mr. Hunt stood for Preston in 1820, he polled in eight days nearly 100 more votes than the Skeleton-man has done in fourteen. Mr. Hunt, too, wait notupelled to leave Preston on the fifth day, for the purpose of taking hie trial at York. Whereas Cobbett has continued to exhibit his boll-dog face" at the win dow of his pot-honse, and s to vomit ',forth his ' 6 palavers" to very last hour of the election. Sir Thomas BiVVOr has, it would seem, left Preston, without making an apology to theinbabitants, for bringing the impudent Mountebank into their town. Sir Thomas gives to a reason for countenancing the impostor, that he, is under pent)* obligations to him. Gratitude is certainly a prime virtue but we think the worthy Baronet might have found' out a mode of repaying the obligation, .which would not have been an insult to the elec tors of Preston. _ But, if we cannot excuse Sir Thomas Btevor,, still his can we .escuto Lord Folkestone, who, it now comes put, actually sub scribed "50 golden sovereigns," as Cobbett calls them, towards the. Mountebank-Hind. If the Noble Lord,. really wished to see Cob bett sitting beside him in the House of Commons, why did he not lend him, like Sir Thomas Beevor, his personal countenance at Preston ? Or rather, why did he not prevail on 'his venerable Sire to return the " Bone-grubber" for Pownton, instead of the Poet Latireat ! All this, we confess, we do not understand.

By this time Lord Folkestone must, we think, wish that his bo gulden sovereigns" were snug in bit pocket. When the Mountebank ran away froM t hat i n 1 820 , t h e fi rs t intelli gence we had of him was, he had taker up his residence in Ss.,cooyge's-fields. Where he will now take refuge , we neither know nor care. We recollect, however, his horrid promise, that he would make Sir *Francis Burdett "seek refuge from the scorn of monhind in a croAs-road's grave :" and, m accidentally turn ing os et lilt blood-thirsty American Register for March 28, 1816, we find !inn , at page 374, writing thus of his present Majesty " it »any be added, and not without reason, why a man, situate ahthe Prince is, should wish to live at all.
